Whether you’re a beginner or not, you may still look for updated easy exercises at home. Your living room might be your next home gym area. Do you want to get fit, gain weight, lose weight, or you just want to exercise? These easy exercises can be listed on your workout routine.

Due to the pandemic, most people are working or still looking for remote jobs and have more time to focus on themselves especially here in the Philippines. Some of these remote jobs include being a virtual assistant, call center agent, online tutor, freelancer, etc. that are based in the Philippines. We must not forget that our body needs to be healthy while working at home and exercising has a lot of benefits.

Before you start your workout routine, do a warm-up first for 5-10 minutes.

No workout equipment at home? No worries. Here are the Top 5 easy exercises for you:

• Sit-ups – Sit-ups are classic abdominal exercises done by lying on your back and lifting your torso. They use your body weight to strengthen and tone the core-stabilizing abdominal muscles. Sit-ups work the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, and oblique in addition to your hip flexors, chest, and neck
• Squats – The Squat exercise mainly targets the thighs (quadriceps & hamstrings) and the glutes. However, core strength, stability, ankle mobility, back muscles, calves, and other factors play an important role when you are doing this exercise.
• Planks– The plank is an excellent abdominal and core exercise. It works not only on the rectus abdominis but also on the other ab and core muscles that run from the pelvis along the spine and up to the shoulder girdle. 
• Jumping Jacks– Basic jumping jacks begin by standing with your legs straight and your arms to your sides. Jump up and spread your feet beyond hip-width apart while bringing your arms above your head, nearly touching. Jump again, lowering your arms and bringing your legs together. Return to your starting position.
• Lunges – Start standing tall, feet hip-width distance apart. Take a wide step out to the left. Bend your left knee as you push your hips back. Keep both feet flat on the floor throughout the lunge. Push off with your left leg to return to standing.

If you experience difficulties performing these exercises take your time to practice, practice, and practice. Once you make it a habit and learn how to perform all the exercises, it’s time to push yourself even harder in your workouts. 

Love yourself and push yourself to be more active. Don’t forget to play some motivational music along with your workout routine!
